A survey on the teaching of English At scientific colleges- University of Mosul
Abstract
Language is the main means of communication among homo sapiens. The social structures of the human society is definitely related to language and thus we can safely assume that the higher and more complex the civili- zation the richer the language. We have many examples of the cessation in the use of a certain language with the death of its relevant civilization. Science has undoubtedly played a great part in our modern civilization, a civilization largely based on technology, inventions and new discoveries in all the fields of science .The welfare, stability and security of a country nowadays depend on its scie ntific and technological progress. Hence, the scientific revolution and fast industrialisation in our country requires unprecedented attention not only to the teaching of science but also to providing our students with media that enable them to pursue and widen their scope,each in his own specialised field of study. Thus, the nced for a foreign lang- uage emerges.Language is a skill,and all skills are developed through regular concientious practice,(1)therefore,we have to set programs and curriculae throughout the college years to train our students in deve- -loping and cultivating a foreign language side by side with their technical abilities.
